The Original Xbox 1 Casino Games Blog

The Xbox 1 has been a smashing success for Microsoft since its release a couple years ago. It has great graphics, good controllers and a very solid selection of games to play. There is one area that does leave a lot of room for improvement: the xbox 1 casino games selection is a little on the weak side.

While it may seem intuitive that the xbox1 casino games would be readily available, that is surprisingly not the case. Hopefully, that changes in the future and may even be a distinct possibility with an upcoming release of GTA. GTA has been rumored to have a real money casino game in the near future. What that will mean for the gaming and gambling communities only time will tell. It could also be a pipe dream, considering all of the legal hurdles that would have to be overcome.

A little car-jacking and driving like you stole it is definitely a lot of fun. However, say you are feeling lucky. You just boosted your favourite car - why not throw down at the blackjack table or even better hit the craps table. After all you are hot. Close the casino down.

It would take a huge online casino to be able to make this deal. 888 comes to mind immediately. They have the deep pockets a site would need to make this happen. They are also incredibly aggressive in everything they do. Would they be interested in the hassle? That's a good question, but it would be a huge market to potentially access immediately. While it's not exactly a captive audience, it's about as close as they could hope for.

Licensing would be a huge obstacle. Would the xbox1 casino game be outlawed in territories where gambling is illegal? Maybe. Remember, this game has a lot of critics to begin with. Add real money gambling and some of our more socially conservative friends would be extremely unhappy. Their protests would probably boost sales even more than any advertising campaign and both the casino operator and the makers of GTA would laugh all the way to the bank.

This writer finds it relatively unlikely to start playing roulette or my favourite online slots from Microgaming any time soon via my Xbox1 console. Until then, we know where to gamble. If things change, an update to this page will be coming. Thank you and good luck.
